Positional Power Rankings (August 2nd)

As the baseball season continues so do the positional power rankings. In some positions things are starting to unfold like they were predicted, but other positions there are some new faces in the mix. So take a look at these names below to see exactly what the perfect fantasy team looks like and dominate your game.

Catcher

1(4) Joe Mauer, MIN: Mauer still hasn’t been able to find the long ball, but he has kept up his great average though. Mauer owners have been racking up great RBI numbers from this keeper catcher. (9 R, 1 HR, 10 RBI, .632 AVG)

2(2) Bran McCann, ATL: Another good week for McCann and the first place Braves. A solid .300 average is good for any catcher in fantasy. (1 R, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 1 SB, .316 AVG)

3(5) Miguel Olivo, COL: Olivo is trying to bounce back after a poor start to the second half. His average was lower than well… average this week, but his run producing picked back up. (6 R, 4 RBI, .261 AVG)

4(NR) Kurt Suzuki, OAK: Suzuki is good for a blow up week every now and then, this past week being one of them. (2 R, 1 HR, 7 RBI, .400 AVG)

5(NR) Matt Wieters, BAL: Wieters finally makes the list, although partly due to do poor play at the catcher position this week. (2 R, 2 HR, 3 RBI, .250 AVG)

2(2) Rickie Weeks, MIL: Weeks is looking like the real deal, and should be in the top-5 for a while to come. (4 R, 3 HR, 5 RBI, .333 AVG)

3(3) Brandon Phillips, CIN: Phillips is still on track for one of his most productive seasons, helping plate six more Reds this week. (5 R, 1 HR, 6 RBI, .269 AVG)

4(NR) Dan Uggla, FLA: Uggla is starting to look like a very good fantasy starter. His average continues to ascend and with it so do his numbers. Its a good thing that defense isn’t a scorable statistic, though. (10 R, 5 HR, 7 RBI, 1 SB, .320 AVG)

5(NR) Kelly Johnson, ARI: Johnson had an okay week, but there is a big drop off from four to five this week.(5 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 SB, .269 AVG)
